Quick facts about Dalida
Dalida is a romanisation of داليدا naming at least two singers: 1) A pseudonym Iolanda Cristina Gigliotti (b. 17 Jan 1933, Shoubra, Cairo, Egypt - d. 3 May 1987 - aka Arabic: يولاندا كريستينا جيجليوتي and following French naturalisation Yolanda Gigliotti), a singer of Italian origin, who made her career in France. She received 55 golden records and was the first songstress to get a diamond disc. She was the child of an opera violinist and was given singing lessons at an early age. She developed into a beautiful young lady and, in 1954, she won the Miss Egypt beauty contest and immediately left for Paris, France, to pursue a career in motion pictures. Despite her looks, her first films were less than successful, but she began performing in music halls and cabarets, singing in French, Italian, Arabic in which she was fluent, and other languages. Using the stage name, “Dalida”, she recorded songs, her second single titled “Bambino” brought instant fame. In 1957, she appeared at the Paris Olympia as the opening act for Charles Aznavour and later the same year for Gilbert Bécaud. She would go on to record in several languages, touring the globe including sold-out performances, in late-1978, at Carnegie Hall in New York City. During her career, Dalida recorded 500 French songs, 200 of which were translated into Italian, and 300 into other languages.
